This pure Cabernet is a stubborn beast—a full 24 hours after being opened it was still shut down tightly, almost as if bottle shocked. Just a hint of leather in the nose, with extremely compact black fruits and firm tannins.

The Cowgirl Cab, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is DaMa’s most popular offering. Loaded with bright, brambly berry fruits, licorice and loam, it’s notable also for smooth, silky tannins.

Here is yet another Washington Riesling that shows how good these wines can be. This is well beyond the sweet and fruity style of the tasting room wines; here are layers of stone fruits, density and weight, length and detail. Once in the mouth this explodes with flavor and keeps bringing the oranges, peaches, apricots, nectarines and apples to the table.

A full, fruity, slightly hot Chardonnay. The barrel aging—all French, 60% new—brings the expected toastiness. This is a solidly made, fruit-forward style, immediately ready for drinking.

Tasted just at its official release, this very young Syrah was not in full form. The barrel scents and flavors were not integrated, and the fruit was standard red wine fare. The rather high (15%) alcohol brings neither ripeness nor depth, and the roasted coffee flavors from the barrels quickly take over the finish.

Ash Hollow vineyard is the fruit source for this herbal, cool-site Syrah. If you like peppery herbs, along with tart raspberry fruit, this is for you. Great purity and concentration keeps this wine alive in the mouth through a long finish.
